Rouen to Paris: Eiffel Tower, Louvre & Iconic Landmarks Private Tour
A full-day private journey from the Rouen cruise terminal to the heart of Paris and back, tailored to your pace.
This private shore excursion from Rouen to Paris gives cruise passengers a seamless, well-organized day in the French capital without the stress of navigating public transport or fixed group schedules. Your driver handles pickup at the terminal, manages city traffic, and ensures you return to the ship on time.
Paris rewards visitors who have the freedom to linger. With a private vehicle at your disposal, you can spend extra time at the Trocadero forecourt, pause for coffee along the Champs-Elysees, or simply take in the scale of Notre-Dame Cathedral at your own rhythm.
The itinerary covers the city's most celebrated addresses, from the Eiffel Tower lawns and the Louvre pyramid courtyard to the Arc de Triomphe and the Ile de la Cite. An optional licensed Paris guide can be added for deeper historical context and a more personal experience.
Because this excursion is designed specifically for cruise passengers, the schedule always prioritizes your ship's departure. There is no risk of missing your sailing, and every routing decision is made with your return deadline in mind.

Photograph the Eiffel Tower from both the Trocadero esplanade and the Champ de Mars lawns for two distinct perspectives.

Walk the Champs-Elysees at your own pace, with time for a stop at a patisserie or a browse through flagship boutiques.
Stand before the Arc de Triomphe and observe the eternal flame of the Unknown Soldier at the Place de l'Etoile.
Travel in a private vehicle with a dedicated driver who monitors traffic and guarantees your return to the Rouen terminal before departure.
Optional upgrade with a licensed Paris guide for richer commentary and a more personalized visit to each landmark.
Itinerary Overview
Begin at the Trocadero esplanade for a classic frontal view of the Iron Lady, then cross to the Champ de Mars for a different angle. If you wish to ascend the tower, approximately two hours should be reserved and tickets must be booked independently in advance.
Explore the exterior of one of the world's great museums, with time to photograph the glass pyramid and the surrounding classical architecture. An interior visit to see works such as the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo is possible with approximately two hours and pre-purchased tickets.
Discover the cathedral's restored facade, gargoyles, and rose windows from the square in front. Stroll the narrow medieval streets of the Ile de la Cite and, depending on availability, visit the interior to see the renovated Gothic splendor.
Walk one of Paris's most iconic avenues, lined with luxury shops, celebrated cafes, and historic theaters. Free time allows for a coffee on a terrace, a pastry break, or a short shopping detour at your own pace.
Conclude the Paris portion of the day at the Place de l'Etoile, where the Arc de Triomphe presides over twelve converging avenues. Admire the sculpted reliefs commemorating Napoleon's campaigns and, with an optional entrance ticket, access the rooftop for a 360-degree panorama of the city.
